I realized just how bad I am within the first 40 seconds
I know that feeling bruh
Thats great, at this pont im sure you are far better.
Try online games :)
@Tiber Mentese I just beat hardest Ai ..you have to use hotkeys and play fast ..know when to go to next age ..and never let your town center idel in the early game ..the walling is important ..and as soon as you be in castel age ..build 1 or 2 or even 3 more town centers
@Tiber Mentese ruclips.net/video/NDu8tiD8Al4/видео.html
So the build order is :
1 Food (Sheep)
2-Food (Sheep)
3-Food (Sheep)
4-Food (Sheep)
5-Food (Sheep)
6-Food (Sheep)
7-Wood (Lumbercamp)

+MOISECRIMI Na... Both farms you have down are the two wounded villagers that lured the boars. With scout it should be 26 pop going into castle age for half of the civs
+MOISECRIMI Is like a %*$# combine with icecream. The idea is genial but the gameplay is %*#$.
Thank you but you forgot about house
Add:

Hey this is a great tutorial! Don't let anyone who said it's subpar bug you; they aren't getting that this isn't fully designed to make you master of the map, game, etc. It's just a useful way for intermediate players to boost their skill and learn the intuition and routine behind getting to a fast castle or feudal. Like the video says: really designed to help players master the Dark Age and working through it efficiently; however, it focuses almost solely on the economy aspect. That is the whole point though!
I have to say, after hitting a block trying to learn myself and get faster and better just watching videos and playing more - nothing has quite boosted my ability and skill like this tutorial has. I was legitimately a E, maybe at times a D, player (in respect to this video).
After mashing out the tutorial nearly 100x over the past few days, I was finally able to achieve an A+, and most importantly, can now comfortably control my economy and make room to learn to scout more than just the beginning stages and think about other plans while I operate the economy instead of being 100% distracted by that aspect I now have mental room to breathe.
I play consistently at an A to high B level now in regards to the Dark and Feudal Ages, and I have transitioned that knowledge and skill into my regular play and it's been spectacular. Even if you are looking to do other things besides Fast Castle, this tutorial helps you master a solid structure for mainly the Dark Age and with minor tweaking you can detail it to be something more like a Feudal Rush or Drush/Fast-Castle, etc. It's very handy to be able to run your economy without the actual feeling of urgency, yet still work it like you were being quite urgent. A+ for this! Make more!
i´m not reading that
I feel like this games skill is based off of memorization and speed running. Kinda weird I used to play this game as a kid like I played roller coaster tycoon 2. A city buildeing game now that I'm older and comeing back I see what it really is an intense speed run that requires precision,memorization,and extreme multitasking abilities.
You can play it calmly if you want, against the easy ai or in wonder games. But if you're doing it competitive, yes then it's brutal. Just do what you enjoy
wow thats actually amazing
now i'd like to have something for practicing my archer rush :D
+Stefan Stockinger It's all coming up!
+ZeroEmpires - Age of Empires 2 I would love to see that too.
+ZeroEmpires - Age of Empires 2 this is awesome! thanks for this!!! MOARRR!!!
+ZeroEmpires - Age of Empires 2 will you make it on the steam workshop
want more! This is sooo good!
Zero Empires: *Clicks up to Feudal at 11 minutes*
MbL: "Hold my scout" *Reaches Castle at 11 minutes*
Haramasch Abrasir feudal age is usually within like 4-7 mins... unless your worse than me.
@@cowchunks5120 Such a fast feudal time is really bad for you. Especially since a 4 minute feudal means you have ~4-5 villagers, depending on if you get loom. 7 minutes results in 11-12 villagers, which is better, but still awful. The point of build orders is that they give you a solid feudal time:economy balance so that you can harrass/outboom the opponent.
I would suggest giving the player advice on how to scout much earliet - for instance: scout around your base, make sure that you find your 8 (stress the number so that they don't look for them forever) sheep, 2 boar, stone mine and 2 gold mines, and once it's done, send your scout to find the enemy (you can flare potential spots in which he can be). Also the in-game sound in the video is a little too loud.
+Przemysław Gradek I agree
Don't forget the 4 deer at the back of your base.
Are you always assured these resources in AOE2? Or is that only on specific maps?
Most maps yeah
@@jonpaulcer3128 Awesome thanks friend! I'm just getting into AOE2 after a lifetime of AOE3 so this little stuff is really helpful
So the build order is :
6 Food (Sheep) 2 house+ 1 house (new vills)
4-Wood (Lumbercamp) 1 Lumbercamp (new vills)
1-Food (Lure Boar)
4-Food (Berries) 1 house+ 3 Mill (new vils)
1-Food (Farm) 1 farm (wouned)
1-Food (Lure second Boar) 1 house (lumberjack)
3 -Food (Sheep)
1-Food (Farm) 1 farm (wounded)
3-Wood 1 house (lumberjack)
3-Gold (Miningcamp) 1 mining camp (new)
Send 4 vills to the deer 4 mill (new)
sheep runs out? 6 farms + send one vill to cut wood
Research Loom
Go to feudel
Send one vill from gold to wood
Send two goldminers to built a market + one lumberjack to built a blacksmith
2-wood
go to castle
thak you
thanks man
Lol thanks. Literally gonna just screenshot this. I get wrecked so hard man
En is Magyar vagyok!
if you are new its good order but i would not recommend this build order if you a little strong
Please make more of these, they are amazing!
In case anyone else was wondering how this is graded,
you have to reach castle age by the following times for each grade:
A+ 18:20
I reached castle age within 12:57, but it still graded me an E.
Maybe too good? haha
I got 17:40 on my first try......not too bad considering I am terrible with hotkeys and multitasking.
it is to fast. You haven't a stable eco then
I made castle in 16:05 in an actual game after a bit of practice but I can't break lower than 16:35~ish in the tutorial no matter how hard I concentrate lol
Teach me your ways, Zero senpai :3
Fantastic.
I actually got an E first time. The disappointment in your voice was hard to bear, especially when you said I must be new!! Fixed myself up and got A+ second time round.
A few constructive criticisms:
- I think it's a good idea to keep a running total of which villagers are doing what. In video, this can be achieved by keeping the economy tab open. In tutorial, this can be achieved by the triggered messages. This way, it's easier to memorise what's supposed to be happening, as the information is collated. It's also easier to check that you're doing things right.
- The more mnemonics and elaboration the better. Maybe with a followup reader to explain why the things are being done. e.g. you need six on sheep to maintain villager production. This also allows people to extend on that logic when playing with different races (5 on sheep for brits).
- Maybe have an updating mission objective. Build a house, put three on wood, build a mining camp. Whatever. Again, it helps structure the information in people's heads.
Great work though, I look forward to seeing more.
I live for the day where Zero will verbally tell me I did a good job
First try I got an E, tried it a few days later with more practice and got a D, just did it again and got an A but was only a few seconds off A+. Awesome tutorial🙏
Hey how did you manage to get so much better? I've just done E three times in a row and I'm struggling to see what I'm getting wrong :/ haaalp
eViL RumPy Are you using hotkeys? What I do is set my scout to 1, my 6 sheep vils to 3, my town center to scroll down on the mouse wheel and idle vil to scroll up. Seems to work pretty well so far. I keep forgetting to build houses tho🤧
Hy-JRez_ yeah maybe the wrong hotkeys though :/
First try: E (20:30 min)
Second try: E (18:30 min)
Third try: D (18:00 min)
This is looking good, my best last game before trying this tutorial was 22 min, I cut down 5 minutes just by learning the order of things. Thanks! I'll be aiming for an A+.
After so much solo practice and hours of effort, I finally got that D! Wololo!
I. Got. E.
12 times.
+Im Flash I know that feel. I've been playing this game for fucking ten years, and I still suck major balls. I wish I'd get a D sometime.
+Ipu Finally I Get a D. :D
+Im Flash same :D
Mage Bank Ohh yess, I did manage to get the D once already, it was amazing
+Im Flash hi!! how much time for a E, and how much for a D?? i take like 20min before i saw this video and now i know that i need 27 villagers maybe i can inproove a couple of minutes
I used to be really bad, however after a handful of attempts and a few resets (stupid AI stealing my sheep), I managed a 16:18 Castle Age, including the 35 seconds of waiting at the beginning, which puts me only a few seconds behind this video. While a lot of it is due to the fact that I was starting to know this map by heart, I really learned a lot on how to get to the Castle age in a really efficient manner. My biggest issue in the past was gathering that 800 food quickly. I would often get to the feudal age on 25-26 population, but then I would have 300-400 food and I was never able to get the 800 required for Castle.
its funny how in this video you're acting so professional lool you're talking style is like an automated service haha
+KingQuraish because its part of the scenario and not a commentary
because it is.
***** that's cool didn't know that. Thanks
This is awesome. So far I have been playing only BF maps. This has immensely helped my game. Can you make similar videos for archer rush and tower rush. So that i can make the transition to arabia. I know i am being greedy, but could you make one for water maps as well. Please... :))))
I'm a new player and I just tried your tutorial. I got a C at first try. I got a lot of TC idle time and a few idle villagers... I can definitely improve this!
Finally got an A+ after a few tries :D
i play the game 3 days now and was able to hit the B awesome Tuturial my friend playing AoE 2 over 1 year now and im Able to beat him now thank you :)
Great work Zak. This kind of tutorial maps should be part of the official game by default.
Ok I realised that reflexively toggling between looking at the scout and selecting the TC over and over again really helps. Only got a D this time because I had low food due to messing up my sheep micro at the start. But my scouting was WAY better than before, never had a problem finding all my resources quickly, and my TC only went idle due to having low food a couple times. I still wonder if I'm having frame rate issues since some people in the comments are claiming to get away with more mistakes and still getting better grades.
Edit the Steam listing, to include this video on its page, so that peple can Shift+Tab and open this tutorial video IN-GAME.
Subbed cuz of this, great stuff for players of other RTS games who want to learn BO's and meta fast.
Thank you so much for the time & work you spent on this! I really appreciate it (fun fact: my father, who is in his fifty, is learning also how to FC)
I started before the intro finished and still could only get D
"at this point you build a FARM"
God that was great.
the fuck, i pressed randomly on the time bar and took me in to that part
So I tried this and it has upped my game a little bit but I find myself diverging from this build order significantly in order to not get slaughtered when my enemy first sends troops against me. If my strategy is to play defensive until castle and then do an all out push in castle age, what would be a good guide that incorporates putting out just enough defenses/troops in feudal to get me to castle safely?
Yeah!!! hold there Viper im coming for you !!!! ... in a few life times hehehe thanks for this ZACK !!!!
If you get this stuff down, here are some pro tips not mentioned that apply to EVERY game:
-Don't build houses against the wood line in the dark age, they will get in the way when you build more camps/ TCs later on.
-Don't build houses between your TC and resources (between mill/ TC for example)
-Only boar lure without loom if the distance is short enough. If there are hills, or the villager has to take a couple corners, they may die.
-Don't return sheep food before shooting boar unless you need the food to build villagers. The food does not disappear when shooting a boar and it's unnecessary idle time and micro.
-Build economic buildings with one villager while the other(s) gather the resource. Especially if getting deer, have 2 or 3 shoot the deer while one builds the mill.
-Taking deer is risky, the villagers are exposed. You can achieve a great castle time without deer, or by pushing the deer to your TC with your scout.
+Gerrit Beltman These are all great. Some of them (deer lure comes to mind) might be a bit beyond newer players, but it's all pretty sound. Those Dark Age houses, ideally, should be placed in such a way as to also not impede later farm placement around the TC, and potentially so that a make-shift wall of buildings to protect, for instance, the woodline and maybe berries is achievable later on.
I used to think that if you reached the next age first, you were advantaged
Have one coming up for flush defense? It's not incredibly hard to defend from a flush, but it's hard to do it without blowing your resources, and your opponent still somehow advancing before you.
This is great, do you think you will do more interactive tutorials for other build orders? Thanks!
Can you make harder tutorial for like medium players these tutorial is very easy. i beat these time with my own build and i dont even try hard which is not even a build order. I want to practice i will be thank ful
Haven't played this since hs, now I'm 23, & after floundering my way in to a victory, thought "Maybe I should learn a real strategy"
So not a total noob, this was easy to follow & I got it down after 3 tries
Ready to crush my friends
This should be a tutorial they implementedinto the real game, where you could improve your timing and it would keep records of your best timing :)
YAY, I got a D, what an achievement xD
Are you implying that someone who can't FC properly will have all the hotkeys perfectly memorized anyway? :v
SO UNREALISTIC. *Kappa*
+Klaymen 47 I don't expect newer players to have hotkeys down, however if you want to achieve an A then you'll need to know and use hotkeys. This is an Intermediate tutorial remember :P
+Klaymen 47
missed first text that says "this is not for Klaymen 47"? :D
+Klaymen 47 Klaymen you have to get past 1500 elo first, Kappa
+Klaymen 47 My fastest castle on black forest is %@$@ 14:33 and I have all my hotkeys memorized not one hundred percent but almost perfectly. so you can be a person that can't fast castle properly and have all you hotkeys memorized.
+TheAzFace TheBadGas Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say... Are you saying 14:33 is a bad time?
Awesome tutorial bro! Keep it up
Villagers who chase boars retire by living a peaceful life on a farm :,)
Wow i did get an A+ in 15:30 without using ANY Hotkeys..... :D
Nice video keep it up!
+AlphaPlays Well Zac got to castle at 16:15. You did 45 seconds better than he did without hotkeys? That doesn't seem right. Did you start the tutorial at 00:37?
+Jake Belyea I have to agree with your assumption, as what Alpha says seems incorrect.
How do you know he took 16:15? Is the video sped up? Or does he have the game on fast?
top left corner you have the time
@Hielke You forgot Santa being the Queen of England
Now this is great. I wonder why one should build farms with weak Vills? Because they stay near the TC and are less vulnerable to harras?
+Peter GANS that's exactly why. With good micro, you can avoid scouts and potentially even archers (or at least get out a few revenge arrows) whereas a weak vill on the woodline or on gold is easier to kill. Also, under-strength vills who are sent forward or otherwise exposed can be killed by wolves if a player isn't careful.
10.57 Feudal 14.58 Castle (Without waiting and no loom) Very helpfull tutorial. Lots of fun to practice and very satisfying when you manage to knock off some seconds!
I wanna share a strategy I use in the initial two ages of the game (this isn't gonna come to you as a revelation for sure). Because I use my unique units, heavy cavalry and gunpowder units a lot I am always in need of gold in the late stages of the game. So what I usually do in the earliest stages is to scout for gold mines in the far ends of the map, and also on the outskirts of my enemy or ally towns. By the Feudal age, I'd have sent a lot of my villagers to such far out goldmines and extract as much gold from there as I can, keeping my own reserves intact for the late stages when I have walled and fortified myself well. This creates a gold crunch for the rest of the players while I myself have typically two mines entirely untouched from which to extract. Combining this with my market activity keeps my gold economy heavily loaded for my heavy cavalry, gunmen, and unique units.
Thanks for sharing, will use.
Just lower the game audio a little bit
Other then that. Perfect video and tutorial. Thank you
i prefer to go up on 26 vills to have one more villager on wood - i get an A+ doing it like this scenario but i'm always missing like 30-40 wood when i'm up to feudal and i hate to wait building the blacksmith...
don’t forget to click create villager button regardless of having enough food or not.
imagine now how would it sound in starcraft. We require more minerals.
the early game is just absolutely ridiculous
I've used this tutorial and have only managed to get an A so far, but well done. This is a great training scenario. I noticed your instructions are to take 3 wood gatherers for the market & bs, but in this video you use gold miners for the market. Any reason the video and tutorial don't match?
Sorry!

+arun prabhu yeah me too
I'm here because my lowest time was ~19 minutes xD
this is a bit biased : you play as the Saracens, their market is cheaper by 75 wood i think and you were still missing a bit of wood for the blacksmith, imagine with other civs without such bonus, you'd need more lumberjacks or have your 7 earlier
I got an E twice.
The second time I though I went at least 5 minutes faster.
Nope. Still 20 minutes. HOW?
Same here xD 18 - 19 minutes is the best i can get. And i play AoE 2 since the year 2000!!!
@@karnevalsjeck1984 So did you get an A+ yet?
I got an A letting my tc idel, get pop blocked falling 150 wood short on market and everything XD second time round I got an A+ with a 15:48 castle no loom :P
I practice and practice but my time doesn't get any better as 18 - 19 minutes =(
Draufschicker Zero is a gun you're doing well at 18-19 keep up the practice.
Just started playing couple days ago and im stuck on 20 minutes :| keeping my scout moving and remembering to make vills, and luring boar seem easy when you watch, but i consistently lose a villager to boar xD
I just started the game a month ago. I downloaded the tutorial days ago. Got an E, the last time I played I hit Castle Age in 19:17 minutes. Got to practice more.
@@spyrojoe4721 Try getting Loom first, or running the villager into the TC before they die.
@@spyrojoe4721 I always lose my villiager because I'm like ok now send vill to boar, oh shit i have to build a house, oh shit another vill is idle. oh shit i havent found my sheep yet and i need to micro my scout... oh shit i forgot about the vill now its dead
It's just fascinating how different is the early game in every AoE.
Help! The mod installed correctly but the scenario won't show up in the scenarios list. Any tips to fix?
you forgot to build the castle!
Good Video : )
lol and pray you dont get rushed!
Does this still apply to the DEFINITIVE edition ? I realise this might seem like a redundent questions...but, i am not aware of any balance changes since the CD/HD versions.
(Sorry for bad english)
Got grade E for my first try (which I didn't fall behind too much by not making enough villages)
Finally got to B after like 50 tries
I go 10/10 until the first boat lure. I can lure the boar fine, I can micro the house by the berries etc. The problem I'm having is I always run out of food around this point and I've tried a billion times to micro drop-off as diligently as possible and it never changes. I've found I can otherwise keep pace with the video for the most part aside from that. I tend to just get loom when I lure the first boar now because it seems like no matter what my TC is just idle for a few seconds there.
One thing you didn't mention: I like building a barracks and training two militia while Feudal Age is being researched. Like that I can go for a stable earlier. What is the difference in the build order in that case?
If I go fast castle + knights, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea, but I need the militia (upgrade them to M@A once Feudal is up) to have some edge against potential small raids. Same with spears. I always fear if my opponent will try to refute the fast castle order and rush me in Feudal.
At least I like playing with Mongols... They're flexible...
Why never take the trees that are right next to the TC? you'd save on that 100 wood, free space for farms and the villagers wouldn't have to run all the way..
Just commenting in case someone answers..
*****
True! I sometimes want to age up but realize that I forgot to build something xD
At 08:29 You say, you take the villagers from wood to build market and blacksmith, yet you take them from gold.
as long as you get 200 gold ready for the castle click up it should be fine
@zero empires
i see this tutorial now and ask you: why is your build order guide in definitve edition so bad? in every build order at some point the explanation is badly communicated, always after sheeps or berries run out or directly after feudal time.
you always have the right numbers of vils on every ressource, but have still vils left, who are idling and you ask yourself, where should i put them? gold, wood, farms? i had this situation in all scenarios i used until now: scouts, archers, drush-castle, men at arms, castle-knights.
here i see: one vil chops some wood at the tc to build the blacksmith later. so why is there no order like: when sheeps run out, send one vil to wood and build farms with the rest of them. now take a vil from wood to build a blacksmith and 2 vils from gold to build a market.?????
if you dont have all the build orders already in your head, this are crucial informations. especially if the meaning of the scenario is to exactly follow the orders, instead of improvising, cause otherwise you come into a situation, where you dont have orders to act with and dont know what to do next and you think you did something wrong. thats confusing as hell and also frustrating over time.
pls optimize that.
also nice would be a build order for trush and monk rush and for the 2 tc cuman boom.
thx
Just tried this, got a E grade of course. 19:10 to finish Castle Age. Some things could be better, like my vil not dying to the first boar, and my vils not killing all the sheep and deer at once.
Thanks for making this though, scenarios like these are, I find, much more helpful than tutorial videos that people make.
Your boar luring is very strange. Why are you waiting until they hit the boar twice? Gets the villager health unnecessarily low. If you hit them once and run you won't need to garrison them and you don't end up with one boar knocking health off multiple villagers.
What I would recommend as well is that you should tell the player that FC is quite a risky strategy in a 1v1 Arabia match, so in order to survive safely without much harrassment in the Feudal age they should place some walls or build barracks and create some spearmen - you can set the AI to send like 3 scouts to attack their base at let's say 13 mins.
It's not as risky when you're playing other new players because they might not be able to pull of a feudal or dark age rush.
Could you put up a download link to your fast castle build order mod please? Thank you :).
The subscription button never works. It does nothing, at all.
+Cleverconure Same issue here! and no help :(
I see people (like mbl) sending what would be the 4th lumberjack to collect the boar, then the next vill goes to wood/build house. Probably just to time the boar for when the sheep runs out.
imo, take this with a grain of salt. It depends upon what your ultimate goals are. I usually go with the elite units of the civ I usually choose, so that means needing to drop a castle as fast as I can at the beginning of Castle Age. That means mining stone. And to have enough of it by Castle Age, you need to have at least two villagers on it by the end of Dark age. It also can be important to wall up because even the AI will try to raid you in as early as the Castle Age if it's on Hardest difficulty or above, let alone what human players will do.
What about after castle age into imperial? How many extra TC do I get? When do I tech up to imperial? What do I do. I'm new.
I made it in similar time with similar count of villagers and get e grade 100% of the time . I think it broke for me
+ZeroEmpires I have no idea what im doing wrong but i tried 3 times, and the times were 22.30, 23.23, 22.21
My Personal Best is D with 17:22 timing after getting 3x E in a row
I’m back to practicing scenarios after a break. How do you see the grade? Doesn’t come up :(
Wait you people actually kill sheep? I always build a pen in them for worship and preservation...
So many people can do this that it almost always comes down to experience. This is only like 1/4 of the game. That is how I can go for months and then not advance on time and still win the game.
great. i dont speak good english but i undertnd all your video and its the best i ever seen. thankyou
Why do I love the music when I know I’m about to win...but hate it when I’m slowly losing?
does anyone know if i can load this campaign into AOE2:DE?
Wow... you got to the castle age within 10 minutes? :o
Hi Zack, great stuff as always. But one thing, is there any offline download option available for this Interactive session. Since my internet is behind a proxy server I am not able to download it from STEAM. But I would like to practice the build order on my PC. Thanks in advance. :)
you said to scout around you for boar sheep and deer, and neglected to scout the enemy until then but what if the enemy was preparing some sort of rush? Or does this strategy not care about that?
Finally managed to pull this off without the guide and without any major mistakes. I kept messing up things around the time of the second boar (killed vil, forgot housing, forgot exploration and ran out of sheeps, etc). Funnily enough, the times where the enemy scout steals my sheeps and I can't get them back is usually when I do best.
Seems like I gotten better. I got a B after a couple Ds. I got housed once though in the B. 11.
On a side note I didn't do the Horse Collar - though in fairness I think I had well over the amount of food to do it (Wood I was unsure on - enough for 1 TC I'm sure).
This has been a huge help for me. Thank you!
I got D, then A, then A+ =)
On my first attempt a villager died to the boar... i wasn't... paying... attention ahem XD
With difficulty "Dante Must Die" i got SS, can't be more stilish with Nevan (?_?)
Are you aiming on preparing some tutorial for feudal rush, drush, mush, i don't know what else can be done? =) That would be really nice =)
Set gather point near the boar not on it and I won't lose a vil if u get distracted. It's just as fast.
mingmongmang Yeah you are perfectly right, i was listening to music, didn't remember i was luring the boar and got kille not earing the attack sound XD
Tells us to take vills from wood to make the market but then takes them from gold in his vid, what a cheat.
what do i do after this? I'm fine up until castle and they seem to have a full army already
Hopefully I'm not late.
After you do this, you should train units that can counter your opponent's units.
For example, if they rushing you using archers, you should train skirmishers, if they using skirmishers, you should train scouts, if they using spears or swords, you should train archers.
Sometimes if your opponent's eco eventually getting worse after the rush, you will have choices.
You can rushing your opponent to make it's eco way worse or you can boom to Imp age.
Hope this helps!
It's a little hard to focus on what you're saying with the game volume so high.
Is there a spreadsheet we can look at to make sure we are doing this right?
I played as a young boy with no hot keys and did alright now I learned them and still am alright
Zak...but what about walling? If you know your opponent isn't going to boom, he's going to Feudal agreession(something much more common and viable now with FE and AK).
Would be nice to have a tutorial where you teach us the best spots to wall yourself and prevent your economy from being attacked(streesing how important is to know the distance of archers so you don't get caught sleeping)
Nice tutorial, but a few key points :)
1. You should have let the boar luring villager build a house instead of luring the boar immediately then come back as soon as the second sheep is over.
2. Mill the deer first and the berries later (but you didn't scout the deer soon enough! use your sheep to scout and make sure you have everything in your immediate surroundings revealed to you before you scout away and into the opponent territory). The reason for that are two-fold: A) you're decreasing the chance of your opponent(s) laming them, and B), they gather faster which means you're going to have food for going up the castle age quicker. This allows you to deprioritize food in favour of some other resource like wood which will enable you to boom quicker. Stone is also a good candidate if you require more than a single defensive tower or if you're planning a tower/castle drop.
3. You have to build a barracks in the dark age if you want any castle rushing done, the barracks unlocks the stable and the archery range. If you want to knight rush, you need to have a stable built as soon as you hit castle age. In this situation the stable is built instead of a market. If however you plan on full booming, then avoid building a barracks and send the unemployed villagers to wood instead of gold.
A good mod would be giving houses feitoria properties without the population cost
Got a D on my first 2 attempts, but i had not found all my sheep yet, and i split my lumbercamps when i get my 3 extra villagers on wood. I think these misstakes are what caused my low rating. I think i have to practice scouting whilst also managing my eco at the same time. Also, at what amount of vills do you usually split your lumbercamps?
